Answer:

2.225\ kg of pears

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> kilograms of apples

y----> kilograms of pears

we know that

x+y=8.9 ----> equation A

x=(3/4)8.9=6.675\ kg

Substitute the value of x in the equation A

6.675+y=8.9

y=8.9-6.675

y=2.225\ kg

Answer: 2.225 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that:

- The total weight the farmer sold was 8.9 kilograms.

- 3/4 of this weight is apples, and the rest is pears.

Therefore, to calculate the amount of kilograms of pears   she sold at the farmer's market (which you can call x), you need to apply the following proccedure.

Thefore, you obtain the following result:

x=8.9kg-(8.9kg*\frac{3}{4})\\x=2.225kg

Find the slope of the line containing the two points.<br><br> (2,5),(-3,-2)<br><br> Please show work
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we will use the formula to find the slope of a line given two points (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂)

The formula is:

m= \frac{y{_2} -y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}  } \\\\

So, we're going to use the points (2,5), (-3, -2) in this formula.

m= \frac{-2-(5)}{-3-(2)} \\m=\frac{-2-5}{-3-2}\\m=\frac{-7}{-5} \\m=\frac{7}{5}

Therefore, the slope is 7/5
